This is another case of "ask me again tomorrow and I'll have changed my mind". For now, I'm giving it to Last Duel on account of its smooth hotness slightly edging out Dead Sea's hoot smothnesshoth smootness hot smoothness.

Mana's music is pretty damn impeccable, but Mystic Invasion's pretty far from the ruins / Thanatos music or Leave Time for Love when it comes to dungeon themes in that game. Mysterious Cave can squeak by this one.

Hmm. I thought this would be harder to decide, but after another good listen to both, I'm gonna have to give it to Sorcerian. As rad as Tyrano Lair is, it has as many moments where it's kind of hamstrung by the SNES synth as it has moments where it's perfect and glorious in it, and I end up wishing it could always walk the walk as well as it can talk the talk. On the other hand, Dungeon revels and thrives in every single aspect of its instrumentation and there isn't even one instant where I'd like it to sound different.
